Untitled[edit]

I do not believe it is the only hot water spring in the UK. Look at the St. Anne Well spring at duxbury for example. See http://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/amemetiae.htm --Filll 07:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is made here, though in view of the article you found it appears that it's not totally accurate. I have removed the sentence. --MichaelMaggs 14:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After a bit of investigation, I realized there are hot water springs, thermal springs, and warm water springs. There is some confusion about the definitions. I looked up a few termperatures, and it does appear that the Bath springs (there are 3 or 4 of them) are the only hot water springs in the UK, but not the only thermal springs in the UK. I put a link to a stub where I listed the information I found about thermal and hot springs in the UK.--Filll 03:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classes and Bathing[edit]

I read that the hot bath was reserved for the lower classes and the other two baths had some other class distinction. Anyone know about this? --Filll 23:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a separate (but very basic) article on the Roman Spa called Roman Baths. That could do with a lot of history added to it, including the answer to your question. I have some Bath history books at home, and I'll see what I can find. --MichaelMaggs 17:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infection[edit]

Is there a good link that discusses the infection that was found? --Filll 23:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's best reached via Roman Baths (Bath). The link is [1]. --MichaelMaggs 17:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
